| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bracteate type struck on a thin, irregularly shaped flan. At center, a half-length bust of an unidentified figure facing, depicted frontally and holding a cruciform banner or staff. A cross appears to the right of the bust in the field. The entire design is enclosed within a pelleted inner border. A faint, largely illegible legend encircles the border, the individual characters being poorly preserved due to the bracteate striking technique. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Uniface bracteate; the reverse is entirely blank, exhibiting only the incuse mirror impression of the obverse design as a natural consequence of the thin single-sheet striking method employed in bracteate coinage production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pegau Abbey was founded in 1096 by Wiprecht von Groitzsch, and its early coinage rights were granted as part of the broader Salian-era policy of extending minting privileges to ecclesiastical foundations along the Saxon frontier. These thin bracteates, struck on a single die with the design showing through in reverse on the back, represent one of the earliest phases of bracteate production in the region — a technique that would come to dominate German ecclesiastical coinage through the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The Löbbecke reference alone places this piece within one of the most rigorously documented bracteate collections ever assembled.
